What's recovery after distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy like?

The endo dr sent me to dr f fir p/tail surgery. Hes not convinced that is the best idea.
The whipple sounds brutal. Since my cyst is on the tail i dont think thats what he will do if/when i have surgery.
The KRAF mutation tends to lead to cancer but i have no cancer markers at this point.
Thank you.

From all that I have read, the involvement of the tail is less serious than the main duct. But being a lay person with no medical background, it is my interpretation. The ERCP is a combination endoscopy/XRay of not just the pancreas, but liver, gallbladder etc. Best if you read it from a qualified source. Please stay in touch if you can, we can all support each other in a lot of ways.
